    If in the US, the state you live in can decide if you can be held liable for debts of your spouse. Also if you are not suppose to be held liable, then when you appear in court, you argue that point.

    Its not unusual for a summons to not include a court date. A hearing is scheduled only after you respond.

    You may live in a state were debts incurred during a marriage are considered marital debts.

    What is your defense?
